Description Yaniv Bronhaim 2015-03-26 15:29:31 UTC
oVirt 3.6 vdsm (4.17.x) won't support el6. Therefore, we have a lot of code that we can drop

Comment 2 Pavel Novotny 2015-10-02 08:37:06 UTC
Verified in vdsm-4.17.8-1.el7ev (build 3.6.0-15).

Code change, verified in automation.

Hi Yaniv,

Just to clarify, it will still be possible to run RHEL6 hosts under 3.5 compatibility mode in 3.6, but with older vdsm versions, right?

However, 3.6 vdsm  (4.17.x)  won't install/upgrade to on RHEL6 hosts.
If you run `yum update vdsm` on the host, it would not bring  vdsm.4.17.x and break the system.
